you forgot the cron job instructions too.  and while you're at it, how to set 
up Dropbox. ;)

curious why rsync doesn't also seem 'straightforward' and 'well
supported' ?

Is this an advocacy of a particular tool?  Or are you asserting that
rsync can be used to maintain a directory of RFCs?  If the latter,
could you supply some details (including, especially, how to get at
the public repository)?

/home/morrowc/scripts/ietf/internet-drafts-mirror.sh

has in it:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Location local: /prod/docs.as701.net/internet-drafts
# internet-drafts location: ftp.rfc-editor.org::
DST=<WHERETOPUTYOURSTUFF>
SRC="ftp.rfc-editor.org::"
RSYNC=/usr/bin/rsync
REPOS="rfcs-text-only ids-text-only"
for repo in ${REPOS} ; do
 ${RSYNC} --delete -rpva  ftp.rfc-editor.org::${repo} ${DST}/${repo}
done


I'm not sure why I was so lazy.. but there it is.
